Summary
Jos Onokiewicz is a retired but active embedded systems engineer and educator with over three decades of hands-on experience in C, modern C++ and Python, now programming for fun from Zeist. He spent more than a decade as a senior lecturer at HAN University teaching embedded systems, Linux, IoT and software testing while previously leading and coaching software teams at Philips Applied Technologies. His deep low-level background spans microcontroller assembly to real-time scheduling, Linux device drivers, MQTT and BLE, informed by long-term practice with coding standards, static analysis and unit testing. Jos is comfortable modernizing legacy C into object-oriented C++ and has taught courses on software engineering, RTOS and fuzzy/neural control—skills he still exercises on personal projects. Known for clear pedagogy and practical tooling, he blends academic rigor with industrial discipline and continues to explore MicroPython and GUI work in Tkinter/Qt for hobby IoT and simulation projects. An understated detail: his career includes early work in esoteric languages and vintage architectures (6502/6809/PDP11), giving him an unusually broad perspective on computing history and constraints.
